Job : Freelance Senior Project Manager - Pharma

\n

\n

This is a Senior Project Manager role, freelance that will focus on Social and Influencer campaigns for a major North American Pharma Client. Core Project Management disciplines are essential (delivery, finance, process, team), but the work will focus on deliverables in the media, social, and influencers spaces- they will be analytics-driven rather than creative-tactic// production driven. The ideal candidate must have experience working on recurring/campaign-flighted work (paid media launches, always-on social listening, weekly/monthly reporting) instead of the linear concept → creative → MLR route → release lifecycle. Please understand that distinction is the single biggest differentiator for this immediate freelance role. The core of this role is someone who has genuinely managed paid social, social listening, or analytics/reporting deliverables in a marketing or agency setting for a Pharma Client Account
